I've never been to a protest before but I will be going to one on the 5th. I'm very nervous but excited. I'm unfortunately going alone because I have no one who can go with me.

sugaree13.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Are you going to Albany’s? You can hang with us

astrocat24.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I don't know where that is but I'm in Minnesota

Good on you! Be brave, and know your rights.

I LOVE this for you! The first protest feels scary but so worth it. As a fellow autistic woman who has some protest experience, my advice:
-If you are sensitive to sound, bring earplugs/hearing protection
-pack snacks/water
-wear *comfortable* clothes
-try to meet at least one new person each time

xteen740.bsky.social•2 days ago

I went to my first one alone as well, back in March. I was afraid and nervous at first, but I challenged myself to ask at least one person this question: “why are you here?”

Hearing the stories reinforced my participation ❤️

astrosma.bsky.social•2 days ago

U will not be alone! We are in this together,everyone marching w you is a friend/ally❣️ Introduce yourself & make connections. 50501 protest will likely have info table-sign up! Thank you for venturing out. You will not be sorry.No better antidote2 powerlessness we feel crazy fascist overthrow.🇺🇸💪🫶✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽

itsjustjoshy.bsky.social•2 days ago

You’re never alone when you’re in the resistance. Everyone there should have your back.

velcrolove.bsky.social•2 days ago

Link arms, hug, or confront together. Don't be a bystander in a protest. Their tactics are simple; divide and conquer, and sow chaos to elevate force.

sherirides.bsky.social•2 days ago

You most certainly will not be alone.

clairejvannette.bsky.social•2 days ago

You won't be alone once you're there! Introduce yourself and make small talk. People at protests are a friendly bunch.

marciafav.bsky.social•2 days ago

I want to encourage you, thank you. And say, congratulations. There are three of us going from springfield, mo. to jeff city (the capital,) and i've done a lot of this before, but my girlfriends haven't.
they're in their 60's, i'm in my 70's,

💙 welcome to the resistance.

astrocat24.bsky.social•2 days ago

I look forward to fighting with you all!!! Keep up the good fight, thank you all for your service to your people. You're more of a good leader than a majority of our politicians. 💙 your generation is the one who paved the road for mine. 💜

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•2 days ago

You’ll find a community there for you. I’ve gone alone many times. Meet some of the best people. Thanks for getting out of your comfort zone. We need all voices.

rhondakaye.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't worry about going alone. Everyone at that protest is your friend. There's always a very communal vibe. These are YOUR people.

nikitabourne.bsky.social•2 days ago

Where are you coming from? You're coming to DC? @50501dc.bsky.social

astrocat24.bsky.social•2 days ago

No unfortunately, I'm from Minnesota. I can't afford to travel really anywhere

nikitabourne.bsky.social•2 days ago

You'll make automatic friends if you have snacks and waters. Put yourself out there. 🇺🇸😎

nikitabourne.bsky.social•2 days ago

In Bobby's mom's voice "Minnesota needs you too, now, dontcha know"
You're gonna do great! Bring water, plus extras because someone's gonna need one. Brings snacks, plus extras, b/c...etc

leahisokayiguess.bsky.social•2 days ago

I took my dog with me to my first one. She makes me feel less nervous. People are nice and have similar beliefs as you—compliment someone’s sign and you’ll be set

shel-belle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same for me, but I've been to two now! (Also solo).

You aren't alone - you will be surrounded by people of your community and it's a perfect opportunity to engage and create new relationships.

Let's goo! 🤘

sugaree13.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Might have to up my game with this 😂

jaredgannon.bsky.social•2 days ago

Never underestimate the power of a kazoo indeed! This post made me thing of a kazoo driven post punk song by The Future of the Left, "Things to Say to Friendly Policemen". Seriously if you need some kazoo punk rock in your life there's no better place to go.🤘

alwaysblueinca.bsky.social•2 days ago

We were out again today. This time, I joined the good folks in Camarillo. Our voices are growing louder and louDER and LOUDER.

Get out and protest if you are able!

Princess Leia, the greatest and original resistor, accompanied me today.

YEEEEEES KAZOOS MAKING A COMEBACK, BABY!

stephanierose1717.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ha that's great! I'm going to keep one in my bag in case I get confronted by any loudmouthed MAGAts trying to overtalk me.

xteen740.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m totally handing these out on April 5th 😂

thepoliticschicks.bsky.social•2 days ago

This music teacher approves this message!

mischamouse.bsky.social•1 day ago

I actually have a kazoo somewhere. I might have to slip it into my handbag.🤔

profjabbott.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Laurel and Hardy theme tune as well

danieldesena.bsky.social•2 days ago

You can also dust off those vuvuzelas from the 2010 World Cup. They can easily get to 120db when used.

playswithdirt.bsky.social•just now

Any idea where to get one, @Dan Sena?

badclerk.bsky.social•2 days ago

i prefer to yell "SOO-EEE!!" at the pigs, just like a pig farmer does.

Is that before an invasion ?

mrsparker47.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have no affiliation, but I'm proud to say that this is my local kazoo factory! https://originalkazoocompany.com/

marciafav.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just ordered six of these in rainbow colors we're ready for april fifth.

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•2 days ago

I called my local toy store and they are holding kazoos for me.

marciafav.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think the kazoo idea is hilarious. I can just see us all out playing The Imperial March!

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know. Makes me sooooo happy.

nowwerise.bsky.social•2 days ago

Here's a new action that's started.
A rotating 24 hr. viewership blackout between news networks.
Ratings will drop and advertisers will quit booking ad space.
It lasts until MSM states this is a coup and reports the news accordingly.

badclerk.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's probably a good idea to start holding protests in front of national and local media outlets, so their employees have to face the reality on their doorsteps.

nowwerise.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is a great idea bad clerk.

reparsons.bsky.social•2 days ago

Another idea: while boycotting. Contact their PR and Investor Relations depts to let them know why you're not watching. They need to hear our voices.

badclerk.bsky.social•2 days ago

while i agree with that tactic, i really don't think they give a shit what we think.

they care more about their insurance and pharma sponsors.

but getting in front of their studios hits directly home.

nowwerise.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let's start calling for protests at MSM studios.

nowwerise.bsky.social•2 days ago

You're probably right but we have to try. Their reporting is hurting us. We have to try everything to destroy these traitors.

nowwerise.bsky.social•2 days ago

A good addition to a good idea.

Speaking our minds and holding up signs at "Association of Mature American Citizens" meeting promoted by Heritage Foundation in King City, Oregon today, when this cop suggested we take it across the street where Tigard city boundary starts.
I inquired; said she was joking. Not laughing.

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•2 days ago

What song are we going to play as our pro people rallying cry on our kazoos?

itsmissyvonne.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hey, I've got some kazoos.

bigmama062.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a protester with laryngitis, I think music at protests is awesome. Screaming into a megaphone a couple times a week is definitely hard on the vocal cords. How does Bernie Sanders Do this twice a day?

nonameindy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Noise makers good idea also pre recorded chants on Bluetooth speakers

murasama-pro.bsky.social•2 days ago

The French protestor in 2019 played it on the bugle 🤣

My father made this for me many years ago he passed away in 2016 so I believe it was around 2014 or 2012 still works great I will be bringing this to the rally!

geekybookworm.bsky.social•2 days ago

bonnieskullmall.bsky.social•2 days ago

I take a doughnut-shaped bicycle horn with me to protests for this purpose. Haven’t needed to test it yet, which is good.

arzuozkal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah! Our union has branded kazoos and whistles. It gets loud!!!

fredsaidwhat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Link to where one might find these magical noise makers?

arzuozkal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Used toy stores often have them.

fredsaidwhat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks. I was interested in the union branded merch though.

shel-belle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Any party store- don't buy off Amazon!

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or Target. My local Independent toy store has kazoos. Yay!

fredsaidwhat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks, but I was interested in the union branded items. So far 0 for 2 with aflcio and cwa.

And yes, Amazon accounts been closed 😎

arzuozkal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh not sure, mine gives them away during rallies.

pb48.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes and popular in the 60's.

malatesta93.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hundreds of people, arms locked playing the kazoo...

As soon as heads get knocked, it's going to be even worse optics than the 'state' can imagine...

I effing love this.

madmaranda.bsky.social•2 days ago

Kazoo manufacturers are about to be blindsided with orders 😆

(LOVE this idea, btw!)
